It's very common in teenagers. Something about how the brain develops. Basically, when a developing teenage brain is confronted with something really shocking or traumatizing, it sort of shorts out and causes the person to laugh.

I meant beside with the AVG. My grandfather flew C-47s in the Pacific. Maybe the interpretation is wrong, but I was told it was Japanese. Just going on what I was told and am in no way claiming to be a scholar on Asian languages. On a side note, does anyone know how they came to be called...

Congratulations and good Luck A4s.

I believe they were used in World War 2 also, because I've seen my late grandfather's and it was written in Japanese. Whether it was widely used or not, I can't tell you.

My bad Brett. I guess I just like spaced out when I put typed in your name. I meant to say Goplay.

Brett, You might check out a couple of these websites http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/point-mugu.htm http://www.skyhawk.org/3E/pmugu/pmugu.htm Also, if you surf, they have some killer waves. Camarillo is nice as well as is Thousand Oaks. Beautiful weather most of the time and...

Lol! That was a good one.:slaphappy

I'm thinking about it, and maybe also posting a couple more pictures, but I've been too busy with school and football to be able to sit down and write something substantial.

Sweet

I saw some guys with leather patches at the Pt. Mugu air show last weekend. Those things look very cool.

The picture isn't showing up on my end. That was a pretty cool demo though.

That was freakin hilarious.

Check post #13 on this thread. They are all linked.

Great article.

Does anyone know how to upload video or where I could host it, because I have some video of the air show.

Nope, which kinda sucked. Fat Albert performed though, which was really cool. @ NKAWTG I got a couple more, but I think I'm just going to upload all of them into a separate gallery on the website.

So, yeah, it wasn't that bad Went to Mugu today and it wasn't too bad. Got to see some plane fly, got to wander around, and I got to see Fat Albert do it's little show. The biggest downside was that I didn't get to see the Blue Angels fly.:( But it was a cool airshow and I bought a cool VX-30...

There's also the Edwards Open House going on this weekend, but their both mutually exclusive. I wish i could go to both though, that would be nice.

Is anyone going to the Pt. Mugu Air Show Saturday or Sunday? (22 & 23 October) The Blue Angels are going to be there and I don't plan on missing a Blue Angels show so I'm going. I'll ry to post some pictures. I also heard they were closing down Pt. Mugu, is this true? (Hey, that sort of rhymes:))

It sounds like a bad time was had by all, or have I stumbled into some complications with OP SEC?

SERE School? I have heard mentions of SERE School on the boards. So, what is SERE? Thanks for putting up with my questions.

I've been a long time reader of his too. That's his old site. His new site is http://www.neptunuslex.com

I've seen it and I thought it was pretty good. It seemed to be more aimed at the parents who don't want their kid going into the military, though.

LOL:icon_lol: That was a good one.

My biggest problem with visiting these schools is that they are all on the East Coast and I live in Cali. I am in school during all of the weekends I can visit so I am pretty much screwed. I'm trying to go visit at least the Citadel and Virginia Tech as I will be in NC over winter break, but...

Sounds like y'all had a good time.

How will you get said cookies to me? Also, what kind of cookies are they?:D Also, I find the rock climbing in the ad to be more metaphorical, sort of a way to show the hard work and rewards that one should expect from joining the Corps. And on a similar note, does anybody else think that...

I like the USMC commercial where the guy climbs the rock face. Thought it was pretty cool. Music is good too. But the USN commercial about the minivan is priceless.

what does BOHICA mean?

It was used on the single seat KA-50. It is considered one of the most high-tech helicopters Russia has ever produced, and as such, there aren't many of them around. It is similar to the Apache. It also has contra-rotating rotorblades. The ejection sequence starts with the automatic rotor...

Thank you very much. I'll look into Norwich.

I'm in a bit of a quandarry. I have three colleges who have been showing a lot of interest, and I am more than happy to go to all three of them. I was just wondering if anybody on the forums has any experience with Virginia Military Institute, The Citadel, or Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets and...

And I sure as hell can't stop laughing. This is too funny.

Turbulence can be fun, unless you're trying to eat. It's hard to get the sandwhich in your mouth when it keeps bobbing up and down.

Has anyone ever heard of the Virginia Tech Corps Of Cadets? Has anyone been through the program? The reason I ask is, they have been spending some serious time talking to me and trying to get me to go through their program. I was just wondering what it is like and whether it is any good or not...

At least his taste in music isn't all that bad. He needs to add some Johnny Cash, though. :D

Yeah, I know, but say in North Carolina or Georgia, I've found they aren't as common as they are out here. And Fly, yes, I have have left California, and I'm hoping to leave for college. . . maybe even permanently. In fact, I wasn't even born in Cali. I have also spent damn near half my life in...

Maybe, but I think the females in Los Angeles, you know, the siliconed, botoxed, bottle blondes that have just that extra something that i can't stand. I can't put it into words that will be at all coherent, but I can tell you that there are a lot more stuck-up *****es out here. I will also...

Also, the Southern women aren't as psycho as many of the girls from SoCal that I have been around. But hey, maybe the girls in San Diego and San Francisco aren't as bad as the ones in LA.

Ain't nothin' like Southern girls, I can tell you that much. Maybe that's why I'm applying to so many Southern schools. :D

Any chance that there are any exchange tours to Sweden, the Czech Republic, Brazil, Germany, or Russia that I can look forward to. . .uh. . . volunteering for when I get in the Navy? :D

Go Cubs! Screw both the Sox and the Yankees, the only team worth rooting for is the Chicago Cubs! Go Cubbies!

I apologize for the stupid question but what is SCBA and OBA? Also, I totally agree with the mutton chops idea. Sounds like a smashing good time. :icon_tong :icon_lol:

Which branch of military service should you join? * My Results: * * You Should Join The Marine Corps * Ready to fight by sea and by land, you belong in the Marine Corps. How weird. Wonder how that happened? /JOKE

This is completely and totally true. In fact, a good friend of mine who is an ex-Armored Cav guy tells a story of a private who's uniform was absolutely horrendous, to the point where it pissed-off the sergeant major. So the SMAJ gives this private a royal ass-chewing along the lines of "you...

That sounds like a great plan. But didn't the women Libbers nix that idea way back in the '70s?

Man, that sure is one sweeet ride.

It is from Gladiator. That video was pretty badass.

I got a coach who is former US Army Special Forces and worked for Blackwater after he got out of the army. He painted the picture that most of the Blackwater guys are ex-military, who love what they do, but for some reason or another could no longer do it in the military so they do it for a...

That was really neat. I'd love to have an old vintage warbird, they're just so damn cool.
